NDSP Quad Cortex

A white QC with black encoders would be much better than the red and gold IMO
The problem with Colors is if you use red leds on red chassis it will be harder to see
Really black is probably the best to show off the screen and leds
White would be second choice

Has there ever been a better example of fixing what ain't broke, though? The original color, fit, and finish were enough to make Apple jealous. Leave it be. For crying out loud, stop trying to match Pantone swatches for a minute, and model a couple of amps or something.

I already had and really liked Plini and Nolly at that time. And although my modeling journey started with an AxSys 212 and continued through a few L6 products after that, I've never been a huge fan of the Helix stuff I've tried. It's good but I always end up with a bit of a "meh" feeling about it. Not really sure why

It's the modeling equivalent of the amp everyone raves about and sounds great when they play but when you fire it up; it just doesn't translate for you.

Really really bored of hearing the kind of hackeneyed fusion nonsense like the intro song here. Ughhhh. Bowel. Absolute 80's retro revival drivel bowel.

First : the ugly , I love John but dammit why demo a fender deluxe w a boosted Les Paul. Instead of Tele or strat

2: It seems like many of their effects are trying to create an octave below the synth
The Boss OC they don’t really need these when they Already have the poly octaves that works great
Something like a quality spring reverb to go along with the harmonic trem would be great ,

The Good
Momentary switching is awesome
The SLO sounds killer
The Cry hell wah might be the best sounding in the box and looks pretty versatile

Instead of Tele or strat

He did switch to a strat briefly but yeah idk why that was the main guitar to demo that amp

 

[Jynx]

It sounds great either way.

 

[Mongillo19]

I will say if they redo amps to make one model have all the different drop downs, that would be cool. One of the "pains" of say fractal is having 6 different models to cover the different modes

 

[Mongillo19]

It sounds great either way.

Sure, but it would have made much more sense to use a tele or strat. Or at the very least split it evenly between the LP and strat.

To me when he switches to the strat, it sounded much better.

Willie Nelson.

Willie Nelson.

Well no wonder, after consuming that you were definitely on drugs!

 

[Jynx]

The opening tune was lit, I thought.

 

[Orvillain]

Was okay. Just in a pissy mood.

 

[spawnofthesith]

I love whole Plini-core or whatever thing myself, but to a certain extent it does feel a bit played out. I enjoy hearing it and the musicianship still though

Don’t apologise, you’re right. Sounds like the music you hear on the character select screen of a shit arcade game.

 

[Lysander]

And yet there have been 0 new amp models in a year? I just don't get it lol

Shockingly, the new 3.1.0 firmware includes no new amps - only updates to the existing Deluxe Reverb models.

Damnit, you're absolutely right! I'm done apologizing!!!

 

[Jynx]

Installing now.

Looking at the 3.1.0 features, I assume their plan is to remake all the amp models using TINA and update the UIs.

For the Fender 64/65 models they have implemented amp variant/channel switch in the dropdown menu. But instead of e.g a bright switch, you have a separate model captured by TINA with the bright switch on the amp on. All the knobs work as expected, but the bright switch requires a separate model because it has a lot of influence on what happens later in the circuit.

Not sure how they will handle this for something like a Friedman BE which has several switches. They could keep the current UI that shows those switches, and just change models behind the scenes. Maybe they even do this already.
